Amendment to Schedule of Meetings and Briefings for 2020

Decision Maker: Council

Decision status: Recommendations Determined

Decision:

Memorandum by the Chief Executive Officer

To Council:

On 18 November 2019, Council endorsed a schedule of meetings and briefings for 2020.

The City of Sydney is hosting the Sydney Climate Summit in the week of 30 March 2020. Given this, amendments to the March / April cycles are proposed.

24 February                Briefings

2 March                       Committees

9 March                       Council

16 March                     Briefings

23 March                     Committees

30 March                     Sydney Climate Summit

6 April                          Council

Section 365 of the Local Government Act 1993 states that "the council is required to meet at least 10 times each year, each time in a different month", with "year" meaning the period from 1 July to the following 30 June (the financial year). The amended schedule ensures compliance with the provisions of section 365.

The City's website will be updated with the amended meeting dates if endorsed by Council.

Recommendation

It is resolved that Council adopt the amended schedule of meetings and briefings for 2020, as shown at Attachment A to the subject memorandum.
